It is not that I am anti-technology. I spend too much time on my computer and Internet. There is something psychologically taking place with me and that cell phone. And, it gets me into trouble. When I need to make a phone call when I am away from home, I cannot find a pay phone. They are quickly being removed or broken and unfixed. I can go for miles without finding one. Once I ran into a police station to see if they had a pay phone and even they had removed the one in the hallway for the public.
I am amputated unless I remember to charge my phone.
We are undergoing a communication shock, as when the printing press was invented. Our communication is moving to the TV (children spend about four hours a day in front of the screen), Internet (a survey by Yahoo young adults ages 13 to 24 spend more time on the Web than with any other media source. Teenagers spend an average of 16.7 hours online per week, excluding e-mail, followed by TV for 13.6 hours per week, followed by radio, that took up 12 hours of a week. How much time was spent eating meals with the family, sharing ideas, thoughts?
We are blessed with the words of wisdom
We all have gifts to share
Stories to tell
Let us all learn from each other
To exchange words of wisdom
To share the positive things that we learned from our past
Therefore, others will not fall into the traps laid on the paths below us
The ability to communicate is a wonderful gift
One does not have to communicate through their mouth
But through their actions
We are all touched in a positive way through the ability to communicate
Spiritually, verbally or through the actions of one's ability to communicate
Stacey Chillemi
Where are we headed on the communication path? More than ever, we talk about being "stressed out," "unhappy," "depressed." We are searching for answers through any mean possible, yet we are breaking ties with the one thing that can hold us together. Will technology replace the only gatherings, story tellings, we have? Will we eat together over videoconferencing or teleconferencing? How will children learn about their tradition? Oral tradition is an essential part of all societies, despite the growing reliance on written and electronic records and accounts. These traditions account for the ways the world is and the way it should be. It assists people in educating the young and teaching important lessons about the past and about life.
The undeniable loss of tradition in the modern word does not at all entail a loss of the past, for tradition...
City Corridor I rode the LA MetroRail line from downtown to North Hollywood and back. I rode the line on a Saturday morning. The route goes mostly through Hollywood and that area, serving a number of different neighborhoods along the way. The train is a fairly typical subway experience like I've had in many other cities. The car was half full at any given time, which I was expecting since it

More than a quarter of Canada's total population alone lives in this heavily populated area. Toronto is considered one of the world's most economically dominant cities (Toronto overview). It has Toronto Stock Exchange and a large number of private
Introduction: Quality Counts A well-designed public transportation system is far more likely to lure new users and encourage regular rides than a system that has few routes, which has insufficient frequency, or which is generally not user-friendly. Therefore, the most important method of promoting public transportation in the city is to develop a good product. The product itself should be designed with the needs of both visitors and residents in mind,
Environmental Pollution Scenario: Review and Summary Although cities contribute to both waste and global warming because of population density and the demands of urban life, they also offer the potential to conserve energy in terms of transportation costs, in comparison to suburban and rural areas. The compact nature of cities makes alternative transportation such as buses, subways, walking, jogging, and bicycle use a feasible alternative to using cars. Regarding the effectiveness
1950's through to the 1970's, immigration was a way out for many of Ireland's people due to a shift in the economy after the war for independence. Immigration was not confined to the educated classes. People from the richest and poorest places in Ireland immigrated in large numbers during this time. Socially, Ireland was a drab and morose place to be because of its strict conservatism. Many of the
